Cold Weather at Bismarck.

Special TO the Globe.
BISMARCK, March 2S.-The cold wave
which struck this portion of the territory
last night has produced marked change in
the condition of the mad waters. All that
is left of the BLACK sea- south of the city,
is a field of CLASSY ice. At about $40 last
night blizzard set in, blowing from the
southeast at forty-fve miles per hour and in
two hours the mercury ran down to 5 ,
above zero, At 6 a. m. to-day it reached
60 below and the wind subsidized. No re-
port has been received from the upper coun-
try above the gorge to-day, and conse-
quently it is believed no material damage
has been done. The result upon the gorge
at this point has been to thoroughly cement
it into one solid mass, and make it more
formidable than at any time before. A
solid wall of ice to the south is left uncov
cred and exposed by the receding waters
and stands like furtitication awaiting the
attack of the enemy. The enemy is eX-
pected when the cold wave has passed and
few warm days have set the floods going.
No further serious damage, however. is
expected unless the next floods should be
accompanied by heavy rains. The snow is
mostly gone and there. is not sufficient
remaining on the ground at this time to
make respectable flood. Up to 5 o'clock
to-day. no news had been received from
Capt. Woolfalk and his band of men who
went in search of the wrecked steamer some
days ago. Communication is cut off from
that direction

the first eight rounds Mitchell acted very
cautiously. apparently lacking confidence.
but after that regained his nerve and it was
plain to all that Smith was over
matched. In the sixteenth round
Mitchell struck Smith heavy
blow in the stomach, causing him to fall on
his face from sheer weakness. The seconds
rushed in. Their wrangling caused gen.
eral rush of the spectators to the ring A
scene of disorder ensued. in the midst of
which the referee declared the fight draw.
The noise attracted the attention of police
man on the beat. He at once guarded the
narrow exit with revolver and blew his
whistle for help. Several of the spectators
escaped by rear window, but quite
number were arrested. The police cap
tured Mitchell and Smith and eight spec
